Answer the Call

In 2005, dozens of Members of Congress stood on the steps of our nation's Capitol and gave an historic call of prayer to America. They initiated an official "Call to Prayer" as a proclamation to all people of faith as to the need to follow the instruction of 2 Chronicles 7:14; to humble ourselves, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways that He may heal our land.
